Transaction detail information to be written to SMF

CICS Transaction Gateway for z/OS produces SMF records which include system level statistics that can be imported into tools such as CICS PA for analysis. More detailed analysis of workloads, trends and problems require request or transaction leve...

Enterprise Cobol V6+ - Dynamic compilation variable
